Presents the lives of sixty-four of ninety women chiefs who assumed the traditionally male role of elected First Nations leadership. This book presents the colonial histories behind the issues that Aboriginal communities struggle with. It examines the experiences of women as they negotiate multiple roles and navigate the worlds of gender and race.
Boring, redundant and quite honestly juvenile for a scholar at the university level. There is no coherent argument, and her analysis (or lack thereof) is elementary. Although she does make an original contribution to the literature on female Aboriginal leadership, this book is not recommended for a scholarly or public audience.
